Dear Colleagues,

Below are announcements for two heterodox economic conferences and a
heterodox economics graduate program. The first announcement is the
call for papers for the 4th annual conference of the Association for
Heterodox Economics; the second announcement is the call for papers for
the conference on Economic Policies: Perspectives from the Keynesian
Heterodoxy put on by CEMF and ADEK. The third announcement is from the
Erasmus Institute for Philosophy and Economics about its GRADUATE
PROGRAMME in philosophy and economics.

I hope you find the above announcements of interests.

My semester has finally ended and now I can do some real research and
writing over my holidays; I wish everybody the same good fortunate.

Fred Lee

ERASMUS INSTITUTE FOR PHILOSOPHY AND ECONOMICS
 
GRADUATE PROGRAMME
 


The Erasmus Institute for Philosophy and Economics (EIPE) invites
students to apply for its GRADUATE PROGRAMME in philosophy and
economics. The focus of the programme is on interdisciplinary areas
where the Philosophy and Methodology of Economics, on the one hand, and
Institutional Economics, on the other, meet (with particular attention
paid to the new developments in science studies and to the new economics
of institutions and organizations).

The programme is strongly international. Its working language is
English.

Ideally, applicants have a Master's degree in economics or in
philosophy, or are close to completing such a degree. Those with a
strong Bachelor¹s degree will also be considered.

The programme is in two parts. The first part provides a one-year MPhil
Degree and it can be done separately. It consists of a set of
foundational courses on topics that range from the philosophy and
rhetoric of both heterodox and mainstream economics to the foundations
of new institutional and evolutionary economics. The core courses are
currently given by John Groenewegen, Arjo Klamer, Uskali Maki, and Jack
Vromen as well as visiting professors (such as, in 2000-2002, by Gregory
Dow, Wade Hands, John Davis, Claude Menard, and John Dupre).

Overall, EIPE has some 20 Members who participate in its activities,
including teaching, and whose areas of expertise cover a broad range of
fields and topics, from philosophy of science, social ontology, and
internet ethics to transaction cost economics, organization theory, and
cultural economics (the current list of members comprises Gerrit
Antonides, Mark Blaug, Igor Douven, Sanjeev Goyal, John Groenewgen,
George Hendrikse, Jeroen van den Hoven, Maarten Janssen, Arjo Klamer,
Barbara Krug, Theo Kuipers, Deirdre McCloskey, Uskali Maki, Bart
Nootebom, Paivi Oinas, Laszlo Polos, Ruth Towse, Jack Vromen, Richard
Whitley, Theo van Willigenburg).

The MPhil will be useful for those who want to have a solid introduction
to the areas covered; those who want to upgrade their knowledge close to
the frontline research on these themes; and those who want to prepare
themselves for PhD research at EIPE or elsewhere.

After the MPhil, students can apply for the second part of the EIPE
Programme, the PhD programme of two to three years. PhD theses focus on
topics related to the EIPE Research Programme "Institutions".

EIPE organizes a regular research seminar with internationally renowned
experts presenting papers. It also runs a PhD seminar to provide a forum
for discussion of the work in progress by its graduate students.
Moreover, it organises international workshops and conferences on a wide
range of topics.

application procedures see our web site: http://www.eur.nl/fw/philecon/
